Belgian champions Club Brugge KV have signed Croatian international midfielder Ivan Leko from HNK Hajduk Split.

Three-year deal
The 27-year-old put pen to paper on a three-year contract with the UEFA Champions League participants on Monday. Before returning to Hajduk last winter, he spent three and a half years in the Spanish Primera División with Málaga CF, making 80 league appearances. He had previously had five seasons at Hajduk, scoring 30 goals in 127 games.

Ceh departure
Leko, who has nine Croatia caps, has been brought to Brugge to replace Slovenia captain Nastja Ceh, who has agreed a three-year contract with Austrian Cup winners FK Austria Wien.
